You can do it, but be smart about it because you can usually explain away one short stint at a job on your resume but two looks pretty questionable should the next opp not be what you expected. Burning bridges is a risk but not guaranteed depending on reasons for leaving, how you spin it, and how easy you make the transition for the company you're leaving.

If you don't have an offer yet, I would suggest waiting a year. In my experience, it looks better to future employers

Not at all, just don't make a habit out of it and have a clear reason why.

Agree. With an offer you can always say that a better opportunity came your way after you accepted this gig, and you ended up leavin 6 months in

Maybe too soon, but it's not out of industry norm. Shortest stay at iProspect I've seen was 3 weeks, others a few months. Average tenure about a year.

Not if your next is going to be 3 years

How do I be a decent manager to a coworker who's upset I've been promoted twice in two years and they haven't? We started out as coworkers, became decent friends after a few good moments, but went back to simply coworkers after they flubbed a few projects and I had to step in to clean up. I'm non-confrontational but year-end reviews are right around the corner and I'm worried about having to act professional to someone who I got too close with and who now hates me.
